Practical Placement & Assessment

Course actions

Students who are enrolled in the combined Certificate III and IV in Fitness are required to complete a 20 hour work placement in a fitness centre or personal training studio. This is to be coordinated by you directly with a centre or studio. You will receive an information pack to take to the centre to arrange your placement. Fitnation has a list of centres that are willing to take students for work placements if you need assistance.

Students are also required to complete two practical assessments. The first assessment is part of the third module and is done once the practical placement has been done. It focuses on client screening and assessment and exercise instruction. The second is part of the fourth module and focuses on training children and older adults. These can either be completed on campus or by video. You will receive an information pack that lists all the requirements of these assessments.

    I recently completed the CertIII/IV in Fitness with Fitnation and found the course extremely interesting, in depth and relevant. I would just like to pass on my thanks and appreciation to the Fitnation team for a most outstanding level of service and help. Your responses were always prompt and accurate. This was also the case for any assessments.  As such, I feel highly confident to train and give advice to people seeking physical fitness.
